    A woman who was instrumental in crafting a lie to invade another country would be interesting.

    Naming Rice would not make Mittens look lessa racist. She is, after all, a known tool for the people who ruined the country.

    No. What he was saying is that if you are stupid and/or lazy you will never be as rich as him.
    No, on the other hand, what obama was saying is that the rich are rich because everyone made them that way. So, everyone is entitled to a large portion of their wealth.
    So what if it was only the rich that took the risks, and made the sacrifices to make themselves rich. Vote for obama and he will to it that you will get your 'fair share' of their hard earned wealth.

    Even though you never lifted a finger to earn it.

    I gave you an example of government impedance, which you agree is fair, so according to you, I have paid my fair share, since you do not pay any of these taxes.

    So come on lefty, quit avoiding your statement, post the evidence that all business get tax breaks to build roads?

    Somebody did invest in roads and bridges, they are the taxpayers, added with tolls. (*)(*)(*)(*) the government, they still haven't built any part of my business. If you were in business for yourself you would understand, but since you only receive a W-2, you are ignorant of what I am talking about.

    No, I did not. I called him a vulture capitalist and Condi a blatant tool.

    BTW, liberals are trying to say that Obama was referring to roads and bridges and not the built business he just referred to. I found this comment under an article by a liberal trying to do just that. I couldn't have said it any better myself, so I'll quote him here. Anytime a liberal tries to hit you with this kind of spin, hit them back with this.

    Dear Author,
    I disagree with your view that Obama was "obviously" referring to "roads and bridges".
    1. If he had been, he would have used the plural "those" as in -- "You didn't build those."
    2. The basic rule is that the "that" refers back to the nearest noun. In this case, "business". Accomplished speakers rarely make the mistake of having it refer to an earlier noun for it easily confuses people.
    3. The "that" right after is again in the singular, i.e. not "those"
    I'm sorry, but I think your anger (and rebuke and concern) is -- are :) -- misplaced.

    Without the government collecting taxes by law, the businesses would not be the least bit motivated to do it.

    All you did was list what taxes your location collects. What freaking bussiness could you possibly be in that you would have to pay all of those? Do you own a hundred-acre resort village with a casino on it?

    Nothing says taking advantage of the American dream like mooching off your parents.

    I'd like to know where you got your information. Both texts are in Obama's speech.


    ...if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something – there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there.
    If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business. you didn’t build that.



    I'll give you my source. It's OK it's ABC.

    So... where did you get the idea that the part from Romney's ad wasn't in the speech?

    Post the evidence of that? You think business has not built their own infrastructure in this country? Taxes are paid by the people, all the people benefit from roads and bridges, not just businesses, which doesn't make government responsible for my success as our goofy ass public welfare baby president alludes to.

    You are pathetic dodging your goofy ass statement, so pony up lefty?

    Obama's parents were not rich enough to grubstake him to buy a corporation. Think before you post this crap.

    It doesn't matter what I own, those are the taxes collected, you obviously agree they are fair, so what part of that fair share do you pay lefty? I will guess none.

    Don't give me that crap. How do they collect a Bingo tax on you? How does a Bingo tax effect your ability to do whatever you fancy yourself to be doing?

    This is what you said:

    "Naming Rice would not make Mittens look lessa racist. She is, after all, a known tool for the people who ruined the country."

    But of course you think Romney is racist.

    Or because lazy weak willed lemmings expect things to be handed them, and don't have the balls to go out and get what's possible.

    But, please do continue with your whinney victim rant.
